भीमसेन-धृष्टद्युम्नयोर्वाक्यं
Bhīmasena and Dhṛṣṭadyumna’s Speeches on Kṣātra-Dharma
स विद्ध्वा सात्वतं बाणैस्त्रिभिरेव विशाम्पते । धनुश्विच्छेद भल्लेन सुतीक्ष्णेन हसन्निव,प्रजानाथ! तीन बाणोंसे ही सात्यकिको घायल करके भूरिने हँसते हुए-से अत्यन्त तीखे भल्लद्वारा उनके धनुषको भी काट दिया
sa viddhvā sātvatam bāṇais tribhir eva viśāmpate | dhanuś ciccheda bhallena sutīkṣṇena hasann iva prajānātha ||
Sañjaya said: O lord of the people, O ruler of men, having pierced Sātyaki of the Sātvata line with just three arrows, Bhūriśravas—almost as if smiling—then severed his bow with a razor-sharp bhalla. The scene underscores the ruthless precision of battlefield skill, where prowess is displayed not only by wounding an opponent but by disabling his means of resistance, intensifying the moral tension between valor and cruelty in war.
